If you're really uptight about it you can def temp_function(...): .... button.click = temp_function del(temp_function) But for something like the example I'd probably just use a local name wherever the definition is needed; there's no namespace pollution in any meaningful sense then. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
